I am sorry but as a human and as a gay man I am ashamed of some of these comments. I see our response to this and to the Chik-Fil-A incident, in general to be shameful and one that goes against everything the gay rights movement stands for. We are for human rights. We want what everyone has. To state that somehow the FRC deserved it, just affirms what others say about a gay man who is beaten to death on the street for being gay. Shame on us and shame on those who are not as outraged by Conklin’s acts as they were when Matthew Shepard was left to die on the fence in Laramie, Wyoming. I don’t agree with the FRC on ANYTHING. I will never give them money and every time they are on one side of the aisle screaming that I should not have rights I will be on the other side screaming right back asserting that they are incorrect and that I should. But I would never ask them or expect them to stop screaming. First Amendment is FIRST for a reason. We will win the fight for equality despite the FRC and all those groups that try to keep us down. But we will never win if we keep cheering when something like this happens. When we cheer people who vandalize a Chik-Fil-A or when we say something like “you reap what you sow” all you are doing is perpetuating the hate. Why not direct your hate to educating those who do not understand we are just as entitled to get married as anyone else. We should never be fired for being gay. We should never be held down because we are gay. We should be given every right that everyone else has. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

Yes, but it appears some believe they are OK, if targeted at the right people, just like the Klan thought is the South some years ago in the not too distant past. it’s good to see evolution working.

Thank you for setting the movement back 20 years. You are truly a credit to idiocy.

*****
D.C. transgender activist Jeri Hughes said she, too, condemns the shooting incident at the FRC headquarters but asked why a half dozen or more FBI agents rushed to the scene of an incident that appeared to be a local law enforcement matter.

“I’d love to have the FBI investigate all the unsolved murders of the transgender women here in D.C. over the last several years,” Hughes said.

Terrible thing to do. Some people would think this a hate crime. Guess straights are not the only ones that can be accused of hate crimes

Did the cops eat the 15 chik-fil-a sammiches?

I have to say, as much as I do NOT condone the violence, it couldn’t have happened to a more appropriate group. All the gay bashing / woman bashing / race bashing they do, they are, as another poster commented “reaping what they have sewn”. But very much not happy at all about the guard being injured, but pleased it was not worse.

I hope this poor guard recovers quickly.
